Send us your feedback — we’re listeningJohn 12:26 (NIV) — Whoever Serves Me Must Follow Me Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. The morning is moving now. The first decisions of the day may already have been made, conversations may be underway, and there may be plenty asking for your attention. In the middle of all that activity, there is a simple question worth bringing before Jesus: Where are You leading me today? Following Jesus isn’t about having every step mapped out before we begin. It is about staying close to Him, listening to His voice and choosing His way, one step at a time. Scripture (NIV) “Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honour the one who serves me.” — John 12:26 Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus, not simply to show us a better way, but to invite us to walk with Him. Lord Jesus, help us follow You today. When our own plans compete for our attention, give us wisdom to recognise what matters. When serving others becomes tiring, remind us that we are walking with You, not carrying everything alone. Teach us to follow Your example in the ordinary places of life — in our homes, our workplaces, our conversations and our decisions. Give us humility when we need to listen, courage when we need to speak and kindness when someone around us is struggling. Holy Spirit, keep our hearts attentive throughout this day. When we are tempted to rush ahead, slow us down. When we are tempted to turn back, strengthen us. And when we see an opportunity to serve, help us recognise it as an opportunity to reflect the heart of Jesus. We don’t need to know every step today. We simply want to stay close to You. Fear will not win, because Jesus walks with us and we can trust Him with the road ahead. May the Lord Jesus guide you today, strengthen you as you follow Him and give you joy in serving others with a willing heart. Que el Señor Jesús te guíe hoy, te fortalezca mientras lo sigues y te dé alegría al servir a los demás con un corazón dispuesto. Que o Senhor Jesus guie você hoje, fortaleça você enquanto O segue e lhe dê alegria ao servir aos outros com um coração disposto. Nawa’y gabayan ka ng Panginoong Jesus ngayon, palakasin ka habang sumusunod ka sa Kanya, at bigyan ka ng kagalakan sa paglilingkod sa iba nang may pusong handang tumulong.
